Sodium naphthalene is an organic salt with the chemical formula Na + [C 10 H 8] −. In the research laboratory, it is used as a reductant in the synthesis of organic, organometallic, and inorganic chemistry. It is usually generated in situ. When isolated, it invariably crystallizes as a solvate with ligands bound to Na +. [1]
With alkali metals, naphthalene forms the dark blue-green radical anion salts such as sodium naphthalene, Na + C 10 H − 8. The naphthalene anions are strong reducing agents. Naphthalene can be hydrogenated under high pressure in the presence of metal catalysts to give 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene(C 10 H 12), also known as tetralin.
Naphthalenesulfonates are derivatives of sulfonic acid which contain a naphthalene functional unit. A related family of compounds are the aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids.Of commercial importance are the alkylnaphthalene sulfonates, which are used as superplasticizers in concrete.

Aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids are compounds with the composition C 10 H 6 (NH 2)(SO 3 H), being derived from naphthalene (C 10 H 8) substituted by an amino and sulfonic acid groups. These compounds are colorless solids. They are useful precursors to dyes. [1]
Sodium atoms have 11 electrons, one more than the stable configuration of the noble gas neon. As a result, sodium usually forms ionic compounds involving the Na + cation. [1] Sodium is a reactive alkali metal and is much more stable in ionic compounds. It can also form intermetallic compounds and organosodium compounds.
The naphthalene anion initiates polymerization by reducing styrene to its radical anion, which dimerizes to the dilithiodiphenylbutane, which then initiates the polymerization. These experiments relied on Szwarc's ability to control the levels of impurities which would destroy the highly reactive organometallic intermediates.
